The study of the prehistory of East Asia is developing very
rapidly. In uncovering the story of the flows of human migration
that constituted the peopling of East Asia there exists widespread
debate about the nature of evidence and the tools for correlating
results from different disciplines.
Drawing upon the latest evidence in genetics, linguistics and
archaeology, this exciting new book examines the history of the
peopling of East Asia, and investigates the ways in which we can
detect migration, and its different markers in these fields of
inquiry. Results from different academic disciplines are compared
and reinterpreted in the light of evidence from others to attempt
to try and generate consensus on methodology. Taking a broad
geographical focus, the book also draws attention to the roles of
minority peoples - hitherto underplayed in accounts of the region's
prehistory - such as the Austronesian, Tai-Kadai and Altaic
speakers, whose contribution to the regional culture is now
becoming accepted.
Past Human Migrations in East Asia presents a full picture of
the latest research on the peopling of East Asia, and will be of
interest to scholars of all disciplines working on the
reconstruction of the peopling of East and North East Asia.
